WATCHMEN 1986 (recommended)

Watchmen 86' by Alan Moore, drawn by Dave Gibbons #recommendedreads #graphicnovel #dccomics The movie (despite some aesthetic improvements) did the point of the book no justice, but i'll give it credit for putting me on.

What If? - Planet Hulk (Recommended reads)

Put respect on Caiera's name.

One of my favorite heroines, period. Such a simple character, brief history, deadly, skilled, strong af, underrated.

 

Fantastic Four #47 VOL 6 (Sue, how do I love thee.)

 Mixed bag on this, art was great.

Nice Sue-Centric issue.

• Villain was ass
• narration bubbles began sweet at first (because husband professing love for his woman is great) then dragged onto self-indulgent pedestal propping for Susan, very cringe.

She's great but holy moly, dial it back. Next, the Marvel Universe wouldn't exist if not for Sue Storm, writer needed to balance the romance with the sycophant energy, you can admire & sing the praises of your spouse and not sound desperate for a treat, Christ. 

'I wouldn't have explored the stars if not for her. '

Whatever you say Reed. Your life's ambition would've remained grounded if not for this woman. 

That really takes away from his character and revolves all around Susan.

You don't have to diminish or be reductive of his accomplishments just to prop her up, its unnecessary and its predictable. Stop doing that.

• You'd never write that she only became what she decided to do with her life cause of a man, so don't do it the other way.
• Are you tryna tell me people give more credit to the guy who's power is being a walking rock than the woman who's arguably the face of the goddamn team and spends almost every fight on crowd control which involves people SEEING what she can do and what she contributes.
• Let's no even try to forget how old this team in the timeline, so how the fuck with her being the ONLY woman- is she overlooked, how lmfao.

• That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about, needless gaslighting just to kiss her ass. Trying to make Sue into an underappreciated underdog when in reality, she's multiple MVP.

  EASY MVP, like just put respect on her name without the weird shit man. It's simple.

Besides that cheesy garbage that unfortunately is littered throughout the issue, the art and story was solid. I like that Sue doesn't see herself as a "superhero", still even now, it's why she's not more powerful than she already is, she doesn't revel in that side of her life. She doesn't entertain it beyond necessity, not training or honing that Celestial tier power she has.

I don't like how Marvel shys from her other past, wasn't she a model or clothes designer? (Showbiz/actress) Is that not STEM enough for this current generation, now its explorer and activist lmfao. Kinda boring resume'.

I guess women aren't woman enough unless they fit a certain box nowadays, everyone's a genius now.

You better want to go in STEM ladies or else you're not womaning right.

maybe I remember it wrong, I coulda swore she was in fashion like Janet or perhaps, I'm conflating her with Janet (edit: Again, she dabbed in Showbiz, acting).

But regardless she's been in the game long enough to be Administrator for The Baxter building, that's a good move. She's mature enough to handle it while Reed is lost in his braincells.

Decent issue. So much better without the sycophant narration boxes though. The envelope was pushed a bit for me in the overtones, it's like: "I get it, alright? Relax."

The action panels are really nice, pg 14 her assassinating the robo goes hard.

Godzilla vs the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #4 (2022) #recommended

 It's only 5 issues, this shit is peak. Wow!

The artwork is consistently good, the plot is insane (Rita) been busy, and all kinds of retro/anime awesome goes down in here.

They got time to isekai the suicide squad but this hasn't been animated yet. What a crime.
